Replying To anotheralias:  "What is it about top Galway forwards and left footers , 1998-2001 was similar , PJ, Savo, Ja, Paul Clancy. And again all limited with the right. Ironically our top right footers seem to comfortable off the left , Damo, Shane, Cillian McDaid (to a lesser extent) and back in thd day Niall Finnegan."
Meehan too I could be wrong but around 04 we played 5 or 6 lefties.

There would be no issue if we had 3 righties in FF line.

Think we had Walsh Comer mcdaid start in FF line last year.

Same as soccer no issues with 2 righties playing centre half but if 2 lefties played centre half the team would be listed as unbalanced

Not much wrong with Joyce's right foot last time we won Sam.

Finnerty been using right a lot more this year.

Replying To JimB1991:  "As I've said I don't know who Clare is. I don't hate Galway or Dublin, just think Dublin have a good chance at the weekend. Experience, athleticism and tactics/coaching v skill and footballing ability. A great matchup to start the all Ireland series."
Are you saying that Dublin lack in experience, athleticism and coaching? Dublin with multiple serial all Ireland winners (Cluxton ,Byrne , Kilkenny etc) and serious quality athletes( Skully, Howard etc loads of ability too) and one of the best coaching set ups in the country?
Are you trying to say that Galway with McGrath, McHugh, Conroy, McDaid, Finnerty, Thompson etc pack skill and footballing ability? J
